| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses mowing practices employed on sports fields, addressing factors that contribute to turf health such as the mowing height, frequency, and strategies. Indicates the results of a high and low mowing height, suggesting that "turfgrass species and variety, mowing frequency, environmental conditions, and available management resources are factors that govern the lowest mowing height possible for a turf." Recommends "increasing the mowing frequency without lowering the mowing height...[to] quickly improve [the] turf and playing surface quality," and mentions the one-third rule. Advises "to use a proper mowing frequency and cutting height along with no more than modest levels of nitrogen fertilization to develop and maintain a good root system [in the spring,]" and warns against the effect of wet weather. |
